Alright, so the football season is starting in a week. I don't normally talk about all of the sportsbook promotions out there, but this one seems too good to be true and I don't know how often something like this will come around. Basically, the deal is simple...you wager $1,100 on Pittsburg to win against the spread on September 7th and if they don't cover, then you get your money back. If they win, then you win $1,000. It's a no brainer right? Especially if you hedge your bet in another sportsbook, which I am not condoning, but at the same time, I can't stop you from doing it either (nudge, nudge).
The site is called Mansion.com. They're relatively new in the online sportsbook/casino/poker world, but from the looks of their site, they seem to have their shit together. This promotion is listed under the "Promotions" link on their front page. The terms and conditions of this promotion are listed in that link as well.
Now, if you want to do this through boogster.com then we'll give you an additional 9000 boogster points ($90 cash value) on top of this, but you will have to make an additional $500 in wagers in the sportsbook or play around 150-300 raked hands in the poker room in order to get the $90. Just follow the instructions on signing up from this link.
And if you want to hedge your bet, then you can sign up to Sports Interaction through boogster.com and receive an additional 10,000 boogster points ($100 value) for the signup. Hedging your bet on the Pittsburg game will fulfill the wagering requirements for this site, so all you have to do is sign up, place the wager, and then you can cash out if you want.
Since a lot of you guys are probably daytraders or poker players who have never signed up through boogster.com before, I'm going to make this deal even sweeter by offering an additional 5000 boogster points ($50 value), so long as you sign up to both sites before September 7th and you enter the code "blog promo" in the additional info field on the boogster registration form.
There's no chance that you'll be able to find a better deal anywhere else. Tell your friends about it too. And if I were you, I'd take advantage of this promo asap because they could pull the promo at any time. I don't understand why they're doing it in the first place. The only thing that I can think of is the fact that the Superbowl Champions are 1-15 against the spread (I think) in the past 16 seasons in their first game of the new season, so they're not expecting Pitt to cover.
Man...I am soooo ready for the football season to start! Let me know what you guys think.

Sorry, I botched the logic behind the promo. There's really no need to hedge your bet because you will breakeven either way. However, if you hedge your bet, then you are switching the wager to the other side. Instead of wanting Pitt to cover, you'll be rooting for Miami to cover. You will lose the $100 juice, but history dictates that the returning superbowl champ rarely covers in their first game of the new season.
Also, if you hedge your bet, you will get an additional $150 from boogster.com.

Alright, so there is some logic behind hedging your bet. If you bet $550 to win $500 on Miami to cover at another sportsbook, then you will win $450 regardless of the outcome of the game.

Hook me up boogster.!!!
Something isn't adding up right. If the Steelers don't cover and your bet is refunded, why would one need to hedge their bet?
to guarantee you a $1000 win dummy
Ok genius, you deposit $1100 of your hard earned money to this shady site and let's see who ends up being the dummy.
"A fool and his money are lucky enough to get together in the first place"
For some reason this quote comes to mind.
JC...are you the real JC? Where are you at?
No...Dan is right..there's really no need to hedge your bet. I botched the promo. If you don't think that the Steelers will cover, then you can hedge your bet...sorry, I need to edit my blog.
Hedging your bet guarantees you to break even, assuming you bet $1100 to win $1000 on each.
Dan, I don't think that this site is shady. Apparently, they've done this promotion before on a soccer match. Our competitors have been working with them for about two months now and I haven't heard any complaints...you don't have to do the promo if you don't want.
sorry Dan, you are correct. I wasn't reading the post correctly. I am the dummy. My bad.
dover, you're gonna breakeven if you do the mansion.com promo by itself, but the difference is that you want Pitt to cover and you will not get the boogster points from Sports Interaction. I like the historical ATS stats on Pitt not covering, so I'll probably hedge my bet...
